replying to @LakeClarkNPS @LakeClarkNPS @AlaskaNPS A10: Unexpected snow can be nasty. Really cold rain is arguably worse #parkchat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @LakeClarkNPS @Wild_Tribute A11) I liked the one about eating 100 yards away from the campsite which in a park like Yosemite it means you'll be dining at one of the restaurants. 😁 #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @LakeClarkNPS @Wild_Tribute I'm going to need to take a serious look at our gear, rain, wind, cold, layers, as we plan our trip to Alaska. How to have it all covered and fit in the packs......#parkchat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute @LakeClarkNPS A1 Inspiring and deeply soothing. I couldn't live without it. Even if (God forbid) I never saw the wilderness again, just knowing that wild and untrammeled places exist would bring me joy. #ParkChat

replying to @wander_filled @wander_filled This was a good lesson for us in Alaska last year. Overflights are sometimes the best way to experience such a large landscape #parkchat
